Optimum conditions for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate from cassava wastewater by the newly isolated cupriavidus sp. KKU38

The Cassava starch manufacturing wastewater (CSW) was used as a substrate to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Cupriavidus sp. KKU38. The acidogenic fermentation process of CSW was first conducted to obtain volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which are more efficient in PHB production than raw CSW. The...
